Roll the Dice

If you like to play backgammon or board games, then you know how unpleasant it is to lose your dice, especially when you don’t have a spare. In other cases, even if you misplace one and have 4 left it might not be enough for the board game you have in front of you.

A practical and handy solution for these scenarios is having an application such as Roll the Dice. With it you can roll a pair of digital dice for your game or even have a multitude of them on your screen for more elaborate games.

As far as usability goes, Roll the Dice is as simple and straightforward as can be. You get a main window in which the dice can be seen, a big button that says ‘Roll’ and does exactly what you think it does and a ‘Result’ box that shows you the sum from each roll.

It’s all easy to use and makes the application accessible to anyone who needs it, kids and grandparents alike. There is no complicated setup process to go through and certainly no challenging configuration.

Roll the Dice allows you to use more than two dice in one instance. From its settings window you can set between 2 and 12 dice that are displayed in the main window and you can also set how high the numerical value can be for each side, which ranges from 1 to 9.

Apart from that, you get to choose from multiple face colors for the dice and even add a custom background to them.

To sum things up, Roll the Dice isn’t the best looking application but it does offer a basic and practical alternative to using real dice. The chances of losing them are really slim, unless your computer manages to slip through a crack in the floor or something like that.
